Celebrating our One Year Anniversary as a Living Wage Employer

At the heart of the Living Wage movement is the simple idea that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. In 2016 the government
introduced a rise in the minimum wage for over 25s and called this new statutory minimum: The National Living Wage.

But there is still a gap between the amount all employers have to pay by law and the real Living Wage that meets the cost of living. That’s why thousands of UK employers have voluntarily committed to going further – because it’s fair. The real Living Wage recognises that under 25s have the same living costs as everyone else. There is a London rate reflecting the higher living costs in the capital.
The London and UK rates are independently calculated every year and announced during Living Wage Week in November
